The Idea You Can Influence That Which You Refuse To Participate In – by Scott Cooper

I have felt since last summer, and I still believe that our Presidential nominee would not be decided until the actual convention in August in Tampa. That being the case, there are two important points for my friends who don’t pay attention or engage until the last minute.

1. If you hope to have influence in that process, you need to get involved in the GOP at your local level. If you are not yet engaged – you are running out of time. In Virginia every locality is having Mass Meetings, where local leadership will be decided. At those meetings it will also be decided which Delegates will go to our State Convention. That will lead to the process of who will be chosen to represent you at the National Convention in Tampa.

2. You cannot influence that which you refuse to participate in. Many tell me, I simply do not have time to attend these meetings. My response – when our freedom is gone, I do not want to tell my grandkids that they do not have the freedom their parents had, because I was too busy to attend the meetings required to retain their freedom.
